The pair first met at UFC 119, in September 2010, where Bader defeated Nogueira via a unanimous decision. Bader would come off that win to lose two-in-a-row to Jon Jones and Tito Ortiz.

Despite already having a win over the Brazilian, Bader says he looks to perform even better this time around.

“I believe I’ve grown way more than he has in those six years, and so I look to go in there and show people that – and it’s good for me. I’ve never had a rematch, and I want to gauge that myself and see how much better I’ve gotten.”

After his destruction of Ilir Latifi last September, can you deny that?
